Back in March, the City of Boston invited all school-age children to submit creative ways of addressing the bullying problem and incorporate one of two contest themes. Students in grades K-5 are reminded to "Be Kind Online", while students in grades 6-12 are urged to "Keep it Social".With nearly 300 submissions, the citywide Anti-Bullying Contest was a wonderful success. Mayor Menino acknowledged some of the winners who were present at the BPS Tech Day held at Wentworth Institute of Technology on Saturday, June 5, 2010. All of the grand prize winners received a prize donated by Microsoft. The winning submissions can be seen online at http://www.bpscybersafety.org/contest.htm.

The picture of the boar by the 4th grader is priceless. That is to say... I love it. Be kind, don't cyber bully.
I love this idea of anti-bullying! I am very happy to see people stepping up to stop bullying inside and outside of schools. Getting involved in a bullying situation is never a positive thing. It is very important for everyone to raise the awareness and fight to stop bullying in schools!
